Whatever happened to pocket-sized phones?

But IPad sized?

I'd like to use google docs on my phone, but it's too small.
Can you use an iPad as a phone?

It appears you can

"Rebtel. This app is probably the best for making phone calls from iPad because it was specifically designed for use with the bigger tablet (as opposed to being a mobile app transferred to the multifunctional iPad.) With Rebtel you get optimized navigation for both portrait and landscape view, and calls flow effortlessly between WiFi and 3G. Not only does your iPhone address book integrate seamlessly, but you can call any other Rebtel equipped device for free - including Android phones and tablets, iPhones and even PCs.

Make your iPad the only device you have to keep on you at all times by simply upgrading it from just a tablet to a convenient phone. It’s easy with an app that lets you make calls from iPad anytime, anywhere."

I rode past a lady jogger yesterday and I could see she was struggling with something on her arm. As I passed I could see it was a mobile phone halter. The phone must have been half the size of a flat screen TV. Phones are just getting bigger and bigger. The arm halters they are making cannot support the weight.

What you are looking for is a phablet. Doesn't look like they are yet as big as an iPad mini.
